“Far-right Republicans are delivering a clear message to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that they won’t soften their demands for spending cuts in government funding legislation one bit as a result of his impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, even as a shutdown looms at the end of the month,” NBC News reports.
Said Rep. Bob Good (R-VA): “Zero. Zero. They’re totally unrelated. The impeachment inquiry is right. But that has absolutely nothing to do with the spending battle. We can do both at the same time, so — absolutely not connected in any way.”
Said Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC): “It’s irrelevant to that. So why would I change unless I really don’t prioritize the spending problems and the debt?”
